A Real Opportunity for Lasting Change

“Until cyber security secures a place on the curriculum, intervention must come from independent operators. Our Schools Programme aims to pick these young people up, inspire them and get them heading off on the road to lifelong, financially rewarding careers.”

Margaret Jones, General Manager for Cyber Security Challenge UK, discusses why cyber security holds the key to changing the state of the nation and enabling true upward mobility.

SpeakOut! by The Cyber Trust

We’re pleased to support The Cyber Trust as an official partner and its brand new internet safety app, SpeakOut!

SpeakOut is the result of an exciting collaborative effort involving The University of Gloucestershire and the Gloucestershire Constabulary, driven by a growing need for support specifically targeting 10-14 year olds as they face increased challenges as preteens and young teenagers growing up in a highly connected environment.

CyberCenturion VII Press Launch

On Tuesday 6 October we facilitated a virtual press conference to mark the launch CyberCenturion VII, hosted by Nick Chaffey, CE (UK, Europe and Middle East) of Northrop Grumman, and joined by a diverse panel of experts who shared their own unique experiences of STEM, the cyber security skills gap and the competition itself to create a truly multi-faceted view of the phenomenon that is CyberCenturion.
